Genetic and phenotypic characterization of tumor cells derived from malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors of neurofibromatosis type 1 patients

Genetic and phenotypic characterization of tumor cells derived from malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors of neurofibromatosis type 1 patients

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients have an 8–13% lifetime risk of developing malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) which have a very poor prognosis. In this study, cells from eight MPNSTs (six primary and two recurrences) of six clinically and genetically well-characterized NF1 patie...
